After releasing a highly criticized bare-bones edition of The Princess Bride, MGM reissued this title in a special edition that is sure to please. Whereas the original release had a nice picture, it wasn't anamorphic and it certainly showed. Framed at 1.85:1, this new anamorphic transfer is outstanding. Darks are very solid with no signs of breakdown, while colors are nearly perfect in saturation and clarity. It really is a wonderful transfer and MGM should be praised for doing it right this time. The 5.1 Dolby Digital English track is equally impressive, even if there is seldom any use of the surrounds. It's still powerful, with not a sign of any distracting elements. Also available is a mono Spanish track and subtitles in English, Spanish, and French. But the real difference between the basic disc and this version is in the supplemental materials. To begin with, a new documentary was produced on the making of this film. Nearly everyone involved, from director Rob Reiner to author/screenwriter William Goldman to actors Cary Elwes and Mandy Patinkin, contributes comments and recollection. While fairly in-depth and very well made, it's only a half hour and really makes one want more. Next are two audio commentary tracks, one from Reiner and the other from Goldman. Their love of this film is clear and each track is unique in its own way. Two brief "press kit" style featurettes from 1987 are also interesting, but recycle quite a bit from each other, plus parts are reused in the longer documentary. While humorous, four minutes of home movies shot by Elwes on the set don't amount to much and fortunately pass swiftly. Finally, wrapping up a great package is a photo gallery consisting of 88 images, two theatrical trailers, and four television spots. Is there anyone who doesn't find this film enjoyable? That's doubtful, and this disc is a testament to the staying power it has enjoyed over time.
